Gantz again warns of early elections if budget not passed

Defense Minister Benny Gantz again warns of early elections if the state budget is not passed by December.

“If there is no budget and no functioning government, we’ll probably go to elections,” he says during a visit to the Jerusalem municipality, according to the Ynet news site.

Gantz says he doesn’t want early elections to be called, but may have no choice.

“If both conditions are fulfilled, there won’t be elections, and if not, then there probably will,” he says.
